Comment 13 for bug 59620

Correctings typos, bug #7993, not 7973 or 7983.

>But the debian stuff is more or less irrelevant because a) that bug is >about resizing which I never did and never intended plus
But your bug description was citing:
"This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout! Parted can't resize this (yet)."
I insist about can't resize this (yet) part.
Note that you thought it was your partition layout, but it is about the layout of the filesystem itself.

>b) it is old and talks about parted pre-1.7, it is marked as fixed in 1.7
Which version dpkg -l parted gives you.

According to http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/gnome/gparted,
Dapper version is gparted (0.1-0ubuntu9)
which seems to indicate that it would be based on parted 1.0 !?

Are you able to tell if you are using ext2 or ext3 filesystems?
I guess cat /etc/fstab is what I would want to see.
